N. 4. Bennett & Son, land and loan
agents of Wayne, Neb., have written o
letter to President Meyer of the board
of trade stating that they had
received letter from one j. r.. Hanson
of Yankton mentioning a proposition
which had been made to the latter by
company of Chicago capitalists to build
q line of railroad from Omaha to Yankton
Wis Fremont West Point Wayne and
Harrington provided sufficient bonus
could besecured from Omahans. The
amount thought necessary is$500, 900. The
letter closes with the statement that if
Mr.. Meyer and board consider the request
as one which might be complied with
the writers viii arrange for committee
from each of the places mentioned to
meet the men who propose to do the
building OF the road and talk the matter
over aud if possible agree upon under
taking the work.
Ii is thought by some that this is a
bluff ON the part of the Northwestern to
distract the attention of the people from
the Chicago, Milwaukee g. st. Paul.
The foregoing is from the Omaha Bee
OF the 14th and Its closing paragraph
calls for correction. The movement ia
not made in the interest of the North
western, but Is entirely outside OF and
opposed to the interests of that corpora
tion, Tt is not bluff, but is q legitI-
mate project for'the construction of g
railroad from Yankton to Omaha. Major
Hanson's part in the pre-
iiminnries is the part OF
citizen and heavy property owner OF
Yankton who is interested in the ad-
vancement of Yankton and an increase
in its property valuation. Beyond this
he is not identified with the proposed
road, For month past he has been in
correspondence with railroad COM
pany which has its headquarters in Chi-
cago-a company which does not own o
foot of road in Dakota, but 10 desirous
of crossing the Missouri river at Yank-
ton and extending up the valley Of the
Jim. Major Hanson's correspondence
has resulted in positive agreement
upon the part of this railroad com pany
to build, equip and operate railroad
from Omaha to Yankton and to finish
1t during the coming summer provided
aid to the amount OF $500, 900 is extended
along the line OF such road. There ex-
lists an express stipulation that such
road, when constructed, shall not pass
into the hands OF the Northwestern com
pany. This stipulation was made in the
interest of our Nebraska neighbors, who
now possess the Northwestern road ani
are desirous Of securing competing
line. The proposition has beer
Iquietly worked in Cedar and Wayn,
counties and prominent residents there
in state that q fair proportion of th
bonus will. be given in those two coun
ties. Dodge county has also interested
itself and other counties are falling int,
line. The matter is now in such shap
that the construction OF the road is as
sured if the asked for aid Is forthcoming
Thus far the work has been done by
! few private individuals in Yankton an
. Wayne and purely in the interest of th
, towns and counties to be benefited b

the Present Attorney General.
WASHINGTON, May 17.-Friends of At

that he will be appointed associate justice
Of the United States supreme court to sue
ceed Judge Wood, deceased One of them
says: don't think there is any doubt
of it. know that he was rendered the po-
sition of chairman of the interstate commits
sion and that he declined it. He said at
the time that something would offer itself
that he would like better, and know that
he referred at that time to some judicial po-
sition. The friends Of Mr.. Garland cer-
tainly do not doubt that he will receive the
appointment
This friend of the attorney general was
asked if he had any doubts of confirmation
by the senate In case of nomination. He
answered: Mr.. Edmunds, the chairman of
the judiciary committee, is as warm a per-
sonsl friend as Mr.. Garland has in the
world. Their intimacy is of long standing
Mr.. Edmunds has very high appreciation
of the abilities of Mr.. Garland as a lawyer.
I know that be considers that in the Pan
Electric matter the attorney general only
made mistake and that he did nothing
wrong; and Il Mr.. Edmunds should be
asked what Democrat it would please him to
have appointed to the bench, he would nm
doubtedly say Mr.. Garland. The other
members of that committee are personally
friendly to him, and should that committee
report in favor Of confirmation, his oppon-
ents could not secure votes enough in the
senate to defeat him
